ESPECIAL TO THE s%ENTINEL.l
Decision im q Conspiracy Case.

NEW HAVEN, conn.,, Jan. Oil ehe
City Court this morning Judge Pickett
rendered a decision in the case OF
VIM. FL. Wallace, Assistant Superin-
tendent of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroads, and Stacy b.
Opdyke, Superintendent of the New
Haven & Northwestern railroad, &C
cused of conspiracy by Thomas f.
Meany, who charged them with black
listing him. The accused were fined
$50 each. They will appeal from the
decision.
The Judge, in his decision, said he
was clearly OF the opinion that a con-
spiracy, designed to hinder any man
from putting his labor on the market
when, where, and for such compensa-
ton as he may agree for, is equally
criminal with any conspiracy designed
to hinder the sale Of merchandise of
any producer or dealer, and is more
disastrous in effect than any other
form of conspiracy, except that to take
life. To convict of such conspiracy,
circumstantial evidence is competent
and may be conclusive. 1t is suffi-
Gent, if it is shown that the parties
had a mutual understanding to a COM
mon design, and the part each was to
perform in the attainment thereof.
The Court is satisfied that Wallace and
Opdykc had a mutual understanding,
that a man not approved by the IL
should not be employed by the other.
This was to all intents and purposes n
boycott upon individuals.
Dead Bodies of Two ola Misers
Found.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. S.-This after
noon a policeman forced an entrance
to the rear of a frame dwelling, at No.
1925 Locust street, and discovered the
dead bodies OF two old misers, Joseph
Perry, aged rs years, and Robert Price,
aged IS years. They were cousins,
and occupied two rooms on the ground
floor, both OF which were scantily fur
nished, while the door leading to the
| second floor was locked and barred
and nailed, to keep out intruders.
They refused to associate with any one
in the neighborhood. Perry was in
the auction business, from which he
retired ten years ago. His fortune is
variously estimated from 800, 900 to
$3.50, 900. Price was a carpenter and
did odd jobs. When an examination
was made of Perry's effects, three
watches, three bank checks, aggregat-
ing $191, one share of stock i'll the
Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore
railroad, 36 shares of stock in the
Masonic Hall of Manayunk, and sew
eral dollars in gold, silver and frac-
tionai currency were found. Both
were terribly emaciated, and had
every appearance OF having been
starved to death.
A Determined Suicide.
MoRGANTowN, KY, Jan. 8.-Thc de-
tails of the suicide Of d. NJ. Sterritt
are: He was about 40 years of age,
and had just married. His mother
and sister objected to the match, and
refused to allow him to bring his bride
to their house. He told them if he
could not live there he would not live
anywhere, and went to his room, Sc
| cured a razor, but was prevented from
using it upon himself by his brother.
Then he left, vowing that he would
carry out his purpose. Friends, who
had learned OF his state of mind, fol-
lowed him ON horseback. One of
them came up with him at u point in
sight of the house where he had left
his bride of "a hours. Sterritt called
out to him not to approach him, and
before his pursuers could prevent, he
seized his chin whiskers, at the same
time raising his neck, and slashing
across il several times with d razor.
Sterritt then walked about 200 yards
and dropped dead.
